Eagle Archer's Gale Sword

Chapter 154 The Palace Coup Caused by the Old Urchin

() The eunuchs, large and small, who were blocking the Qinzheng Hall were dead, and Yang Kang immediately commanded the imperial army to rush in. After some unscrupulous searches, Zhao Guicheng, the king of Yi who was hiding in the rockery, was pulled out.

The imperial guards escorted the trembling Zhao Guicheng to Yang Kang. Yang Kang smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, there are many thieves hiding in the palace right now. This place is not safe. Let us send you to a safe place."

Zhao Guicheng said nonchalantly: "How dare you act so recklessly, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?"

"The king's law? The emperor's will is the king's law!" Yang Kang laughed, waved his hand, and signaled to take Zhao Guicheng down. After that, he galloped through the palace, and when he thought of the crown prince ascending the throne, he would immediately be promoted to the commander of the army. The commander of the soldiers and horses couldn't help but let out a long laugh.

Why is the prince ascending the throne so soon? It is because Emperor Ningzong is about to die!

Why did the emperor die early?This has to be said from the past two days.

That day in the imperial palace, the old naughty boy saw Hou Qingyun galloping away, and he had the idea of ​​teasing the emperor. The old naughty boy was extremely skilled, and he galloped through countless palaces all the way. No, he has been drilled all the way to the emperor's bedroom - Funing Hall.

Emperor Ningzong fell on the bed a month ago and couldn't get up. The wind and cold had just subsided, and his condition improved a little, so he dismissed the imperial physician and servants, and summoned the maid with the best ventriloquist to serve him.

The court lady was very clever, she played with his old bug very quickly, and then swallowed and rolled it up and down in her mouth. Her ventriloquist was excellent, and Ning Zong's little bug, which had been sluggish for thousands of years, gradually appeared. There is a hint of color.

Feeling the numbness and refreshing feeling coming from his lower body, Emperor Ningzong let out a long sigh of relief, suddenly his heart moved, he opened his eyes and looked out of the big pillars in the hall, who knew that a sinister laughter sounded from the back of the hall .

Ning Zong was shocked at first, and then there was a sharp pain in his lower body, but it was the maid who raised her head to see the main hall, and suddenly a gloomy evil spirit appeared, and she was thrown out of her wits. With something in his mouth, he subconsciously bit down...

Ning Zong immediately bowed his body in a miserable howl, which alarmed all directions, and the guards from all directions stepped forward. Seeing this, the old naughty boy only thought that the emperor was scared by him and screamed, and he walked away satisfied.

The old urchin left gracefully, but Emperor Ningzong couldn't help it. The caterpillar was bitten off in half. , and was sick again, he was in excruciating pain, passed out after a while, and woke up again after a while, after repeating this several times, he was already dying.

Zhao Mian was in the East Palace, and was soon summoned to Funing Palace. Seeing the pale face of the emperor, he felt desolate: Although Ningzong was not his real father, he had not been named the crown prince for a few years, but He can also feel the emperor's concern for him on weekdays.

The chief court physician told Zhao Mian the truth in a cryptic manner: "The emperor's dragon root has been broken, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive tomorrow!"

At this time, the imperial palace was already in chaos. After searching the imperial palace, the forbidden army began to investigate Lin'an City. The troops and horses of the Dianqian Division, to which Xia Zhen belonged, were also dispatched.Zhao Mian's mind suddenly moved. He didn't expect to block the palace immediately, but was afraid that Shi Miyuan would do this, so he hurriedly ordered someone to notify Ma Wencai.

Ma Wencai rushed to the palace overnight, had a secret discussion with the prince, and made a decision: let us seal the palace and catch that old thief by surprise!

The first is to block the news that the emperor is critically ill, and when Shi Miyuan and other courtiers go to court the next day, they are all trapped in the Xuande Hall.

Then use the military power to send all Xia Zhen's soldiers and horses out to search, and quietly transfer Liang Shanbo and other forbidden troops who are loyal to the prince into the palace, and then block the palace until Ningzong dies and Zhao Hong ascends the throne, then everything will be fine!

Dozens of court ladies, eunuchs, guards, and imperial doctors who knew the news of the emperor's critical illness in the palace were gathered in one place and confined until Shi Miyuan and other courtiers went to court the next day. The Ouchi guards repelled the news, but they were all detained in the Xuande Hall without knowing it.

Then Liang Shanbo and other ministries entered the palace one after another, took Xia Zhen early and relieved him of his military power. Liang Shanbo remembered the tragic death of his old boss Hua Yue, hated Xia Zhen deeply, and beheaded him with a single knife.

At this moment, Shi Miyuan suddenly lost his greatest reliance—blocking the military power of the palace!

Liang Shanbo relentlessly relieved his anger, but it was also risky. After being investigated, he committed a major crime of killing the Shangguan, but if Zhao Mian ascended the throne smoothly, it would not be a crime, but a credit.

Yang Kang made great achievements in destroying the Ming Cult. Under the praise of Liang Shanbo and Ma Wencai, Zhao Mian immediately appointed him as the acting commander of the Ningwu Army. Although there are not many people under his command, they are all princes. He has a prominent status, and his status is no lower than Liang Shanbo's military commander who has real power.

Zhao Mian saw that Yang Kang was indeed capable of great use, so he temporarily ordered the forbidden troops in the palace to obey Yang Kang's dispatch, while Liang Shanbo presided over the military outside the palace to prevent Xia Zhen's troops from retreating.

Yang Kang once heard Hou Qingyun say that Shi Miyuan would collude with Empress Yang to tamper with the emperor's edict, so he ordered his concubine and capable servant Wei Siniang to lead thousands of people to surround the Renming Palace where the empress lived.

Yang Kang issued a death order to Wei Siniang: Anyone who dares to forcibly enter or leave the Hall of Renming will be shot to death!

Shi Gu and Yang Shi, who had entered and exited the Queen's bedroom seven times in history and finally persuaded Queen Yang to pretend to be Zhao Guicheng, had just entered the Hall of Renming that night, without even seeing Queen Yang's face. The sword stabbed to death...

Everything went very well.When the night fell, Emperor Ningzong woke up tremblingly. At this moment, he was slumped before, his eyes were clear and his face was radiant. Zhao Mian knew that this was a sign of returning to the light. He had been looking forward to this moment, but when When this moment really came, he was both surprised and at a loss.

Ning Zong took Zhao Mian's hand and told him, "Mian'er, I'm going! I've given you the burden of helping the country... Our ancestors had a hard time starting a business, so we must guard the country... If you are sure, go and realize the greatness. Ancestral will."

Zhao Mian choked with sobs and said, "Your ministers must follow the teachings of the father and the emperor, do their best to help the country, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Central Plains."

Ning Zong got his promise, said "yes" three times with satisfaction, then slowly closed his eyes, and passed away silently.

When the emperor passed away, Ma Wencai said that it was not too late, and asked Zhao Mian to go to the Xuande Hall immediately to accept the worship of the court officials under the guard of the imperial army. Kowtow.Zhao Mian was speechless, and Ma Wencai said urgently: "Your Majesty, your majesty, it's not too late, otherwise things will change!"

Zhao Mian shook his head, and said slowly, "I'm not in the Xuande Hall, I'm going to accept the worship of hundreds of officials in this Funing Hall!"
